The paper is a description of the recovery process of a patient with severe psychotic disorder. It has been written from three perspectives — the patient’s, his individual therapist’s and his psychiatrist’s perspective. The patient’s perspective is an autobiographic description of crucial factors — leading to the disorder and helping in recovery. The perspective of the therapist and the physician is focused rather on the therapeutic relationship and course of the therapy. It also contains descriptions of the severity and chronicity of psychotic symptoms. It encompasses the reflection about healing factors — crucial moments, decisions that have influenced the beginning and continuation of the recovery process. This process is shown in the context of the community treatment system with special attention paid to community self-care homes. Changes in the patient’s social functioning are described — undertaking of work, improvement of relationships. Due to sportive activities, an improvement in somatic health was also possible. Regarding theoretical issues, the paper is based on the conception of recovery. The paper presents benefits for the patient and their environment that are connected with the activation of the patient’s resources, discovering growth perspectives, and entering into a therapeutic relationship based on trust.
